Multiplier is simpler than ever for all!

Example 1: First Jobber/ Working Adult

Meet Jack. He’s a first jobber who credits monthly salary of S$3,500 to his DBS/POSB savings account and transacts in two categories.

First Jobber Working Adult Multiplier Example

Jack has a total eligible transaction of S$3,800 and gets a bonus interest of:

  • 2.10% p.a. for the first S$100,000 and
  • Base interest rate for balance above S$100,000​

To unlock higher interest rates, Jack can transact in one more category. By purchasing an insurance, Jack transacts in 3 categories and his interest rate increases from 2.10% p.a. to 2.40% p.a.​

Example 2: Married Couple / Family

Meet Rachel and Bryan. They are married with two children and have a personal Multiplier Account each. Rachel and Bryan credit their salaries of S$6,000 and S$5,000 respectively into a joint account to qualify for higher eligible transaction tiers on their individual Multiplier Account.

They are also joint borrowers of DBS/POSB Home Loan and spilt the S$3,000 monthly instalment equally. Both are accorded the full monthly instalment amount of S$3,000 as an eligible transaction for their individual Multiplier Account.

Bonus Interest

When do I get my interest?

Your DBS Multiplier Account pays you interest in two parts:

  1. Base interest: This gets added to your account on the last day of each month.
  2. Bonus interest: If you've earned any bonus interest, this gets added to your account by the 7th working day of the next month.

How is interest calculated?

Here's how we work out your interest:

  • We add up all the eligible transactions for the full month. This total helps us figure out your bonus interest rate.
  • The bonus interest rate applies only to your end-of-day SGD balance. The balance cap is the maximum amount of money that can earn bonus interest.
  • We calculate the interest earned for each balance level. Then we round this off to the nearest four decimal places.
  • We add up each day's interest earned and round this off to the nearest two decimal places.
  • Finally, we add up the entire month's interest.
